It's reasonable for me, a stuntman, to live a crazy life, right?

Chapter 601 It makes sense! Opportunities always come to those who are prepared; candy is still better for others!

The news that Pan Yueming signed with Feiyue Film and Television had not been exposed before, so many people in the circle felt that after the incident between him and Miss Dong ended, his star career was completely over.

But when the script of "Day and Night Chase" was approved and it was confirmed that he would play the leading male role, many insiders in the circle felt as if they had suddenly realized something!
No wonder Miss Dong, despite having such a strong background, was still exposed by paparazzi and lost the lawsuit to Pan Yueming.

Now that the news about "Day and Night" has been announced, many unreasonable things in the past suddenly become reasonable.

As for the fact that Zhao Liying would play the female lead, everyone had actually been mentally prepared for it.

From Chen Fei’s previous actions, it can be seen that Zhao Liying and Shu Chang are definitely the artists that Feiyinghuang Agency will promote next.

Before this, there might have been a candidate named Yang Mi, but when she chose to leave the company, everything that should have belonged to her disappeared.

……

Chen Fei hasn't decided who to direct the script of "Fireworks in the Daytime" yet, so he just put it aside.

After another script, "Burning Sun", was approved, he immediately started the preparation work.

The choice of actors is always the key to the success of a film.

After sending audition invitations to the candidates he had in mind, he waited at the company and began to handle some work related to the subsequent filming.

But what he didn't expect was that before the actors for the audition arrived, he met Lu Yang, Wang Baoqiang, Zhao Wenzhuo, Bai Qiao and others first.

"Why did you guys suddenly come to the company?"

When he saw Lu Yang and his companions, Fade Chen was quite surprised.

"Hello, Mr. Chen." Lu Yang greeted him first, and then explained: "'One Man's Martial Arts' is about to launch a formal publicity plan. Today we are here to find Mr. Su and the person in charge of publicity and distribution to discuss the subsequent related publicity strategies."

"Oh, so, then hurry up and don't waste your time."

After greeting several people one by one, Chen Fei watched them walk into the elevator.

"A Man's Martial Arts" has chosen the May Day period, and the film will be officially released on that day.

This movie can be said to be attracting much attention in the industry!

Written by Chen Fei and directed by Lu Yang, one of the male protagonists is Zhao Wenzhuo, the winner of last year's "Zhao Zhen Contest", who has become a hot topic and has attracted a lot of attention.

Especially as the movies starring Zhen Zixuan have been failing one after another, Zhao Wenzhuo's reputation in the "martial arts circle" is still soaring, and the mainland circle is waiting for him to make a comeback.

There is no need to say more about the other leading actor, Wang Baoqiang.

Since his debut, the films he has starred in have never been particularly bad. In terms of acting skills, he has "Mr. Tree" to rely on, and in terms of box office, he has "Lost in Thailand" to back him up.

Under such premise, the confrontation between the two male protagonists seems quite exciting.

Not to mention the heroine Bai Qiao.

As soon as a delicate face was posed in front of the camera, the group of male fans immediately started rushing up with shouts of “Ahhhh”.

Chen Fei really likes the look of the character "Xiao Meiniang" she played in "The Romance of Sui and Tang Dynasties", which is sometimes pure and sometimes sexy, and very much in line with the aesthetic points of male audiences.

……

Time quickly came to the afternoon, and the actors who received the invitation rushed to Feiyue Films.

In the reception room, Chen Fei handed several copies of the script of "The Sun Also Rises" to Duan Yihong, Guo Tao, Qiu Ze and Wang Luoxun respectively.

"Read the script first, and then we can talk after you finish reading it."

After he finished speaking, Fade Chen picked up his phone and pretended to be browsing the news, but out of the corner of his eyes he was glancing at the four people in front of him.

As the only female among the four, there is naturally no need to say much about Wang Luoxuan.

As the first generation "Flying Girl", although her popularity and popularity have declined in recent years, her acting skills have improved significantly.

Adhering to the idea of ​​keeping the wealth within the family, when choosing the heroine, the first person Chen Fei thought of was her.

Not to mention Guo Tao, who graduated from the Central Academy of Drama and has superb acting skills. He has also been immersed in the drama stage for many years and has won numerous awards.

Chen Fei had first worked with him in "Crazy Stone" and had a deep understanding of his acting skills.

As for Duan Yihong, the impression he left on Chen Fei was "Yuan Lang" in "Soldier Assault", as well as the two works "My Captain, My Regiment" and "White Deer Plain".

He exudes a very positive aura, which is also one of the reasons why he was invited to audition.

As for the last one, Qiu Ze, he was recommended by Huo Wenxi.

As an actor from Taiwan Province, all the roles he has played since his debut have been the male lead or the second male lead in various romantic idol dramas.

When Chen Fei checked his information, the first thing he saw was the 2011 hit TV series "The Three Daughters of the Xia Family".

In this TV series, Qiu Ze plays a strict hotel manager who is close to being a pretty boy.

And today, he actually wants to challenge the role of "Chen Bijue", and has received strong support from Huo Wenxi!

This made Chen Fei very curious.

Although he signed with Feiyinghuang Agency not long ago, there seem to be quite a few younger actors with good acting skills in the company. Why did he stand out?
Chen Fei plans to test his acting skills later.

If you want to do a job that involves carving, you must have a good enough diamond drill.

Nearly an hour passed quickly. The four of them finished reading the script one after another and discussed the content with Chen Fei.

Studying the script is a basic ability for an actor.

Chen Fei needed to know how deeply they understood the script after reading it for the first time.

Duan Yihong was the first to speak up: "Is this film going to win awards?"

"That's right." Fade Chen nodded and did not deny it.

He plans to spend a month shooting the film, and then follow up on the editing and post-production special effects, and send it to Cannes for award selection.

Time is tight, so he needs extremely high efficiency.

He doesn't have much time to cast, nor does he have much time for the actors to prepare, which is one of the reasons why he tests the actors' understanding of the script.

Over the next hour or so, everyone gave a speech based on what they understood.

The original novel has both the depth of exploring human nature and the pursuit of form, so there are several plot lines to choose from when adapting it.

For example, the love line between Yang Zidao and Yi Guya can be picked out to show the difficult love in a complex background, or the cat-and-mouse game between Yi Guyun and Xin Xiaofeng can be told. At the same time, the landlord can be used as an entry point to construct a crime suspense story.

In the end, based on the script rewarded by the system, Chen Fei chose the more commercial storyline of Yi Guchun and Xin Xiaofeng, and highlighted the characters' extreme states and the high-intensity reversals of the narrative in the script.

During the time he was drawing storyboards, he congratulated himself several times on having upgraded his "Screenwriting Mastery" ability to the maximum level.

The vast amount of knowledge and applications about screenwriting in his mind enabled him to make a more in-depth adaptation and analysis of the script based on the original one.

This is also the reason why he dared to challenge Cannes.

……

"Ok, let's stop here for the script study."

More than an hour passed quickly, and Chen Fei appreciated the four people's understanding of the script.

He was particularly worried about meeting actors like Yang Ying. Fortunately, these people were much better than her.

Especially Qiu Ze, his performance was quite beyond Chen Fei's expectations.

When it comes to character analysis, he has demonstrated an extraordinary talent.

The next step is the formal audition.

Chen Fei said bluntly: "I will be directing and acting in this movie, so in the following auditions, you can just treat me as 'Xin Xiaofeng'."

"it is good."

Several people nodded in agreement.

Chen Fei is well aware of the acting skills of Duan Yihong, Guo Tao and Wang Luoxun, so he focuses more on Qiu Ze.

He made a direct request: "I need to see an image of a simple and foolish person, whose words, actions, and expressions must all match."

"Okay, Director Chen, I understand what you mean."

Qiu Ze prepared a lot for this audition.

He is already 32 years old this year, and the status of idol male god has always been with him and has never left him. But he knows very well in his heart that this status cannot be maintained forever, and he must make a change.

Although he is in a comfort zone, he remains sober.

As his popularity and fame were at their peak at that time, he resolutely left Taiwan Province and rushed to the mainland, where he won the favor of Huo Wenxi and joined the Feiyinghuang Agency.

The five-year contract gives him above-average resources within the company.

Although it was impossible to get the role of the male lead right after joining the company, Huo Wenxi promised him that if there was an opportunity to play the second or third male lead, she would definitely let him give it a try.

And now, "The Burning Sun" happens to be the best resource he can reach!
Having finally gotten Huo Wenxi's recommendation, he will definitely seize this opportunity!
The role of a "fool" is actually not easy to play, and it requires extremely high acting skills from the actor, but he did his homework before coming here today.

He was still somewhat confident when doing the questions according to the answers.

He stood up and walked to the open space in the middle of the reception room. He gathered his emotions for a while, ruffled his hair, and soon entered the role of "fool".

A wonderful non-physical performance was presented before everyone.

In the sight of several people, Qiu Ze's whole body was curled up, his hands waving wildly, his face flushed red, and his mouth kept opening and closing, but the sound that came out was "Aba, Aba", as if he was being bullied and insulted by someone.

After a moment, he bent down, muttering some apologies intermittently, with a flattering expression on his face.

At this moment, Fade Chen suddenly noticed a small movement of his.

As he bent over to apologize, one of his hands was carefully rubbing the outside of his thigh, his brow furrowed as if he was in pain.

But he didn't dare to wail, and he didn't even dare to raise his eyes, for fear of being insulted and bullied again.

In the end, he was so scared that he clutched his trouser legs tightly, like a child who had made a mistake. He bent his waist, turned around silently, and walked step by step towards the distance, leaving only a lonely back.

At this time, Chen Fei's voice suddenly came: "In fact, all of this is just your disguise. Your real identity is a murderer who once committed a heinous murder."

The change in the audition requirements did not make Qiu Ze nervous. Instead, he felt happy!

"Don't be nervous! Absolutely don't be nervous!"

He secretly encouraged himself, but did not stop his actions.

After taking a few steps, he suddenly stopped, turned his head carefully and looked behind him, as if to check whether the person who had just bullied him had caught up with him.

After making sure that the other party had turned around and left, the eyes that were originally filled with timidity and fear suddenly disappeared, and were replaced by an intense coldness and eeriness!

At this moment, murderous intent seemed to have burned in his heart!
"Good, good, very good."

Chen Fei immediately applauded, his face full of appreciation.

He deserves recognition for being able to bravely step out of his comfort zone and dare to portray different roles.

The others were also a little surprised. This acting skill was not like that of an ordinary idol actor.

"Thank you, thank you Director Chen, thank you teachers."

Qiu Ze quickly bent down and bowed, behaving very modestly and respectfully.

After confirming that the diamond drill was strong enough, the porcelain work could be handed over with peace of mind. Chen Fei immediately said, "Take a copy of the script back, and someone will contact you to sign the contract later."

"Okay, thank you Director Chen!"

Qiu Ze was overjoyed. He really didn't expect that he would actually get the role.

At this moment, he already had some understanding in his mind that opportunities always come to those who are prepared.

……

After auditioning the performances of several other people, today's audition was officially over.

Before sending them off, Fade Chen specifically reminded them, "Because of time factors, we need to improve efficiency while focusing on quality in our next shoot.

The shooting will start in three days. During the following shooting, I hope you can coordinate your schedule and try not to delay the shooting progress. "

Although these words were a bit overbearing, they did not feel the slightest bit of dissatisfaction in their hearts.

Being able to participate in a movie directed and starred by Chen Fei, and to compete for awards with him, is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for them.

Although the few of them did not discuss it, they all made the same decision in their hearts.

After returning, you must immediately turn down all subsequent work.

No matter what happens, give way to the filming of the movie!
After seeing these people off, Chen Fei called Jiang Xuerou at the Beijing Film Studio.

The actors have been arranged, and the next thing to pay attention to is the issue of the shooting location.

According to the calculation data made by Dianjing Digital based on the storyboard he drew, it can be roughly calculated that the total number of special effects shots used in the entire film is about 400.

Computer special effects can be used in sections such as "Chasing the murderer on a rainy night", "Gunfight in a high-rise building", and "New Year's Eve fireworks", but the segment "Chasing the murderer in a high-rise building" is difficult to process to perfection with special effects alone.

Therefore, after careful research, Chen Fei finally decided to use a combination of computer special effects and real-scene construction in the shooting of this part.

Jiang Xuerou is currently in the studio of Beijing Film Studio. She will lead the team to build an aerial corridor about 6 meters high for the crew to shoot.

After the call was connected, without waiting for Chen Fei to speak, Jiang Xuerou said directly: "Mr. Chen, give me another week, we are doing the final debugging."

"Okay, we must ensure the safety of the actors."

It's only a week, Chen Fei can wait.

At worst, we can just shoot other plots first, it won’t delay anything.

After finishing the call with Jiang Xuerou, Chen Fei called Zhou Xun again.

As soon as the call was connected, he got straight to the point and said, "Where's the person I asked you to help make an appointment with? Did you make the appointment?"

"Oh, don't worry. I've never been rejected by anyone when I ask for help myself!" Zhou Xun boasted to herself, and then added, "Wang Yanhui is currently performing in a play at Happy Twist. He will call me back after he finishes, and we can go out and have dinner together."

Happy Twist?
Drama?

Upon hearing these two words, Chen Fei immediately became interested.

"Are you busy now? How about we go over to the Happy Twist Theater and watch a play?"

"Now?" Zhou Xun was slightly stunned: "Then wait a moment, I have to talk to producer Liu to see if she will let me leave first."

"What's there to say? Let's go together."

"Then talk to her."

Zhou Xun handed the phone to Liu Yifei who was eavesdropping on the conversation.

Miss Liu would never refuse Chen Fei's request. She agreed without even thinking about it: "Then come and pick us up, okay?"

"Okay, no problem, wait."

After hanging up the phone, Liu Yifei handed the phone back to Zhou Xun.

However, at this moment, she noticed that there was something wrong with Zhou Xun's expression. In addition to the inquiry in his eyes, there was even a strange smile at the corner of his mouth.

"Yifei, are you two in love?"

The reason why Zhou Xun made such a judgment was entirely because Liu Yifei's coquettish tone just now was so disgusting.

She is not a novice in love and is very familiar with the love affairs between men and women.

"Sister Xun, what are you talking about? We are just ordinary friends."

Liu Yifei avoided the other person's gaze and made up an excuse to go to the next office.

When she came out again, Zhou Xun noticed very keenly that she had applied lipstick and touched up her makeup in just a few minutes.

Seeing these small details, the guess in her mind was immediately confirmed.

"Hey? Still being stubborn?"

She smiled secretly in her heart, feeling inexplicably excited as if she had discovered someone else's little secret.

When it comes to sugar, it’s better to eat other people’s sugar!
